How one Ventura County stay-at-home dad came into possession of material recorded between 1989 and 1991 by the King of Pop.
When former California Highway Patrol officer turned stay-at-home dad Gregg Musgrove started “treasure hunting,” the 56-year-old certainly never imagined he’d end up with a king’s bounty — the King of Pop, that is.tapes were found in a storage unit deep in the San Fernando Valley. Musgrove’s journey to the tapes began when an associate contacted him about a storage unit he’d recently bought in Van Nuys.
“I’ve gone to all the fan sites. Some of them are rumored to exist, some of them have been leaked a little bit,” Musgrove tellsMusgrove’s full inventory list, pictured below, shows the collected tracks, along with snippets of other unreleased songs. Jackson, and presumably Loren, can be heard discussing the recording and creative process on the tapes. “I’m listening to this stuff, and I would get goosebumps because nobody’s ever heard this stuff before,” Musgrove says.
Perhaps one of the most fascinating tracks on the tapes is titled “Truth on Youth,” which is seemingly a rap duet between Jackson andabout working with Jackson, confirming they had recorded music together. The song stands out for many reasons but largely due to Jackson rapping on it.Unfortunately for diehard Jackson fans, it’s likely Musgrove will be one of the few people to ever hear these tapes.
While the exact value of the find remains unclear — Musgrove and the team helping him believe it’s in the seven-digit range — he plans to take it to the four major auction houses in the near future. Perhaps one of the many celebrity Jackson memorabilia enthusiasts — Lady Gaga famously bought 55 pieces of memorabilia at auction — can add this to their private collection.
